Hado
I bought one myself. That is the shortest version of everything below. Hado is on Shore Island, the quieter half of the islands. Fewer developers, fewer towers going up at once, and far enough from the airport approach that you are not living under the flight path the way you are on parts of Central Island. That is the case for Island B in a line: privacy you can actually feel, around 6 km of beach on the resort side rather than the public one, and hotel facilities to match. The construction is a level above the volume product around it, and the plan is a clean 50/50 with nothing loaded after handover. Two honest caveats. At about AED 3,250 per sq.ft you are paying above the island average, and handover is Q2 2029, so this is a hold, not a flip. I went in anyway, because the scarcity on Shore Island is real and I rate the capital-growth case here as highly as anything on the archipelago once the dedicated bridges and the beach clubs arrive.
AED 2.5M ≈ USD 680,735
Hado is Beyond’s project on Shore Island. 692 units across G + 2P + 17. At 692 units it is one of the larger buildings on the island, so expect company on the lettings market when it hands over.
Prices start at AED 2.5M. At AED 3,250 per sq.ft it is about 29% above the 2,514 archipelago average, so it needs to be earning that premium on view, finish or brand. Units run 769 to 4,784 sq.ft.
The payment plan is 50/50. Handover is dated Q2 2029. That is a long hold before you see a key, and the bridges and metro that would re-rate the address are dated to roughly the same period.
Amenities: Green spaces, Beach access, Serene waterfront landscapes, Flowing interiors, Natural textures and meditation pockets. Beach access is direct.
Unit mix as released: 1 bedroom; 2 bedroom; 3 bedroom; 4 bedroom.
Registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 4210. Payments go to the project escrow account, Mashreq Bank PSC – 019000092565. Nothing should be paid anywhere else. The developer quotes a service charge of AED 18 per sq.ft. Most buildings here have not published a figure, and where they have I still model 22 to 26 until a first year is actually billed.
Location. Hado is on Shore Island, off the Deira coastline in northern Dubai. Twenty minutes to Dubai International, twenty-five to Downtown and DIFC, five to the Gold Souk and the Deira waterfront. Access today is over the Infinity Bridge, and it is the only way on and off until the dedicated island bridges land, which are contracted for 2027 to 2029. Shore Island is the only one with infrastructure money already committed, an AED 527M contract awarded to Al Nasr in April 2026, and Rixos hands over here in Q4 2026.
What the numbers actually say. Budget roughly 6 to 7% on top of the price to complete: 4% DLD, around AED 10,200 trustee and admin, the first-year service charge payable at handover, and snagging. On the entry unit here that is close to AED 2.65M of cash to own it outright. On my own underwriting the entry one-bed on this island returns about 3.7% net long-let, after a AED 24 per sq.ft service charge, six weeks vacancy, 2% agency and 5% management. Not the 11 to 13% being advertised, which is gross short-let at full occupancy on stock that is almost entirely unlet.
I bought one myself. Island B privacy, a real beach, hotel facilities, and the strongest capital-growth case I see here. The price is a premium and 2029 is a wait.

Service charge
AED 18 per sq.ft quoted. Treat it as a floor, not a number to budget on. On comparable Dubai waterfront completions the first-year charge came in 18–34% above the figure quoted at reservation.
Buying on Dubai Islands
The general rules that apply to any off-plan purchase on the islands. The specifics for this project are above.
Ownership, tax and visa
Dubai Islands is a designated freehold zone, so a foreign buyer owns the property outright with no local partner and no lease. There is no annual property tax in the UAE, no capital gains tax and no tax on rental income. The 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee plus AED 4,200 admin is paid once, at registration. At this price the purchase clears the AED 2M threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa, measured on the registered value.
How you buy off-plan here
A reservation form and a deposit of typically 5 to 10% holds the unit, paid to the developer. The Sales and Purchase Agreement follows within 14 to 30 days and sets the payment plan and the delay clause, which is the paragraph worth reading twice. DLD takes 4% and registers you on the Oqood off-plan register. Instalments then follow construction milestones into the escrow account, and the Oqood converts to a full title deed at handover.
Questions about Hado
How much does Hado cost?
Prices start at AED 2.5M, which works out at about AED 3,250 per sq.ft. Add roughly 6 to 7% on top for DLD, trustee, first-year service charge and snagging.
When is Hado handing over?
The developer's date is Q2 2029.
What is the payment plan at Hado?
50/50. Compare the total price rather than the schedule: a generous plan is usually paid for in the headline number.
Can a foreigner buy at Hado?
Yes. Dubai Islands is a designated freehold zone, so foreign buyers own outright with no local partner. You do not need to be resident, and the SPA can be signed remotely.
What unit types are available at Hado?
1 to 4 bedrooms, from 769 to 4,784 sq.ft.
Is Hado registered with the DLD?
Yes, under project number 4210. Payments go to the escrow account at Mashreq Bank PSC - 019000092565.
What rental yield can I expect at Hado?
About 3.7% net long-let on my numbers for the entry one-bed on this island, after service charge, vacancy, agency and management. One residential project on the whole archipelago has been delivered and let, so treat every yield figure here as a projection, including mine.
